Posts - Bill - HR 4564 To amend the Public Health Service Act to create a special rule for treating trained individuals as trained personnel of a school for purposes of giving preference to States for children's asthma treatment grant programs, and for other purposes.
house 07/21/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to ensure that trained individuals, even if they aren’t school employees, can be recognized as qualified to help manage children’s asthma and administer epinephrine in schools. This aims to give states more support in accessing grants to improve asthma treatment and emergency care for students.

A step forward for school health, though I hope the funding keeps pace with the new responsibilities.

If schools can’t handle asthma emergencies with their own staff, maybe it’s time to rethink priorities before handing out more authority.

Finally, a bill that says every kid’s breath matters, not just the lucky ones in wealthy districts.

Because nothing says government efficiency like adding more red tape to who can hand out epinephrine.

Epinephrine in schools? It’s basic care, not a luxury; this bill is a no-brainer for protecting kids of all backgrounds.

Training outsiders to intervene sounds great until liability lawsuits clog the courts—this bill needs a serious rethink.

Empowering trained individuals outside the usual staff can save time and lives, but let’s watch those certification hoops.

Looks like common sense breathing life into asthma care – I’m curious if states will actually implement it fairly.

Training more hands to save lives beats standing by watching children suffer – about time Congress caught up.
